Consumers to pay slightly less for gas and LPG

Barbadians will be paying slightly less for gas but more for diesel and kerosene from midnight, Sunday, October 3.

Gasoline will be sold at $3.95 per litre – a decrease of three cents; the price of diesel will increase by two cents and will now cost $3.16.  Kerosene will go up by six cents and will be retailed at $1.38.

Meanwhile, the retail price for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has dropped.  The adjusted price of the LPG 100-lb cylinder will be $155.36; the 25-pound cylinder, $43.94; the 22-pound cylinder, $38.83, and the 20-pound cylinder, $35.30.

These price adjustments are in keeping with the Government’s policy of allowing retail prices to be reflective of those on the international market.  (BT/BGIS)
